Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
First, an informal phone interview to get a feel of your experience.
Then, they send you all of the information to study for the technical rounds.
They ask you to schedule in advance.
The loop itself was 4 different rounds, where only one was to get to know you and the rest were technical questions.
Standard LeetCode questions that get more and more difficult.
My biggest gripe with this process is they don't care to get to know you at all; it's straight to technical know-how, and they could care less about who you are.
